My Yoshino, though stunning each spring (the predominant variety that encircles the Tidal Basin in Washington DC)is strictly ornamental and not fruit bearing.

I planted a dwarf tart cherry tree next to the deck at my last house, and boy do I miss it. The blossoms were fragrant but not nearly as showy as those beautiful Yoshinos, but the cherries were delicious - enjoyed by my family and the backyard birds.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-87223205903061149852009-02-06T09:03:00.000-05:002009-02-06T09:03:00.000-05:00THANK YOU JOEY!!!!

I'm always looking for healthy quickbread recipes, and I like any way to incorporate some oatmeal into it. Thanks for reminding me about the cherries, too--I still have some cherries in the freezer that I spent hours pitting this summer:) This would be a good time to make a yummy cherry cobbler.<BR/><BR/>I remember going to Michigan with my parents a few times when I was younger--we always came home with cherries, blueberries, or peaches--whatever was in season. Michigan fruit was always the best!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-49616976213945908042009-02-05T16:54:00.000-05:002009-02-05T16:54:00.000-05:00I read your post with interest.
